Cooking: Why a Trangia alcohol stove when a cheap butane stove can heat a lot more food and water faster? I expect to see a Trangia in a small hiking kit,not a home kit. We've had a few power outages and cooking on butane is not a problem.


Haven't watched the video yet, but Lily seems to be targeting a wider viewership, those that perhaps aren't as familiar as we are with gear and it's use as we are. Many of them aren't outdoors people and would not be inclined to buy higher priced items for "What if?" use. An alcohol stove fits this niche nicely. They're cheap and easy to DIY with common household items. They're simple to use and don't rely on unfamiliar fuel sources.

I totally agree about home lighting. Get something bigger and brighter, why not, as long as you have the space?
